To 'all whom it may concern.'

g Be it know'nhat I, Bessin W. ALLEN, s citizen of the United States, residing etNew York, inthecounty of New York, have invented certain new and useful' Improvements in Novelties Adapted for Advertising and other Purposes, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to e. neviT and useful novelty particularly adapted for advertising purposes, though it is to be understood'that its use' is net limited to such purposes, and the object of my invention'is to produce e novelty which will represent a human figure having th'e appearance of being dressed,-

with the different portions of the dress and the fold thereof clearly appearing. y

With these and other objects in view my invention consists incertain constructions and combinations of parts` one embodiment of which will be first described in connection.

with the accompanying drawing and then the inventionpsrticularly pointed out in the appended claims. i

Referring to the' drawing wherein the seme part isA designated by the same ref-V erence numeral wherever it occurs, Figure l trai, longitudinal section teken on line 2, 2 of Fig. 1 and looking in the direction of th arrows, and Fig. 3 is a section taken on line' 3, 3 of Fig. l and the arrows. v

In the following description l will describe the particular construction of e single lookingr in the direction of form or figure', it being understood thatthe" shape, number 'and erre ement of parts can be varied to produce various eiiects of dress and the like.
